A corridor joins it to the Administration Building (1898) This was the main entrance into the hospital. The building housed the Superintendents Office, Nurses Training School Office, the Switchboard, and the Business Office. The third floor was used as the Diet Kitchen. At the front entrance was a wide staircase - above it a large stained glass window picturing the Good Shepherd. Above the landing was a smaller window picturing Queen Victoria. This smaller window now hangs in the main entrance at SSC. Admission and Outpatient Department (1875) The original hospital served many uses over the years. Nurses Residence (1905) Graduate staff and students lived in the residence until 1927 when the Gartshore Residence was constructed.
